Shattered Reality illustrates the
psychology of magic where the magician uses sight, sound and even touch
to create the illusion of a solid mirror being smashed to pieces, then
restored. In this unique effect, a framed mirror is inspected and
touched by an audience member moments before the magician inflicts a
damaging blow, making the mirror shards spill onto the floor. When the
damage is done, the magician pulls back the protective cover revealing
that all but one of the mirror pieces have been smashed out. A quick
shake of the frame makes the last piece fall to the floor with that
all-too-familiar sound of broken glass echoing through the theater.
After the magician picks up the broken pieces in a bag, he flips it open
then reveals the fully restored mirror, showing that the pieces have
disappeared, only to have returned to the once empty frame.

The
focus of this MOCKUP series is to present new magical effects in full
detail. A working mockup/prototype is built and photographed from every
angle, providing a clear look at the featured effect. Along with over a
dozen pictures, there is a complete set of workshop plans with ALL the
measurements required and written details on performance, routine and
building. I am sure you will find this the most comprehensive set of
workshop plans out there.

REVIEWS

"This illusion appears to be
workable and good...Safety-wise, there are no sharp shards of broken
mirror to deal with, which I think is a plus...If your show can use an
illusion with a broken and restored mirror, you may want to consider
'Shattered Reality.'"
Wayne Kawamoto, Magic & Illusion 10/16/2011 Full Review

"From the description the
effect almost sounds too good to be true and guess what, it isn’t. Mr.
Richardson has written a great booklet for performers looking to add a
stand-up or illusion effect into their shows. "
Ramsay, Cameron, iTricks.com 1/27/2011

" The effect would make a
good in-one piece in a stage show it is self-contained, visual, packs
small and plays big, and no assistants are required. New effects like
that are hard to find."
Gleason, Greg, Magic Magazine 5/1/2011

"I think there is great
potential for the illusionette and I recommend it for magicians looking
for a small scale illusion that can be perform if they can put some
innovation behind it."
